Following safe start-up of Clair Ridge, Emerson
to enable remote monitoring and provide real-time data to maximize
production for UK offshore assets
Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering leader,
has been awarded a five-year contract with BP to provide predictive
maintenance and operational support services to ensure safe,
optimized production from its Clair Ridge platform and Glen Lyon
floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
As main automation contractor for the Clair Ridge project, which
achieved first oil at the end of 2018, Emerson was responsible for
implementing its advanced integrated control and safety systems,
and measurement and control devices to ensure safe, efficient
operation of the two bridge-linked platforms. BP used Emerson’s
Project Certainty methodology and consulting to define project
goals that would eliminate costs, reduce complexity and risk, and
accommodate late-stage changes.
Using the latest technology, Emerson’s cloud engineering
services enabled global project personnel to remotely collaborate
on design, development and testing in a common virtualized
environment. This allowed project changes and testing to be managed
efficiently and remotely, reducing travel, time, costs and project
risk.
Emerson trained BP operators using its new, high-fidelity
dynamic simulation model, enabling them to experience real-world
scenarios before the system went live. This prepared them to
effectively handle abnormal situations and resolve any operational
issues that might have delayed reaching first oil.
“This is another example of our collaboration with BP and
commitment to combining proven technologies and the best expertise
to help ensure safe, optimized production for many years to come,”
said Lal Karsanbhai, executive president of Emerson’s Automation
Solutions business.
Emerson’s ongoing operational support, remote monitoring and
predictive maintenance for Clair Ridge and Glen Lyon rely on
Emerson’s Plantweb™ digital ecosystem technologies, software and
services which equip plant personnel with relevant, real-time
production data and analytics. This includes its DeltaV™ integrated
control and safety systems, AMS asset management software, and
measurement and control devices, all helping BP locally control
operations, while remotely monitoring production and asset health
from an onshore location.
Clair Ridge is a multibillion-pound investment developed by BP
and its co-venture partners ConocoPhillips, Chevron and Shell.
Construction of the platforms was completed in 2016, with first oil
announced on November 23, 2018. Clair Ridge is designed for 40
years of production. The development is targeting 640 million
barrels of oil reserves, with peak production expected to be around
120,000 barrels of oil per day.
